In addition to these new buildings Mark An

Row. destroyed by fire in June. The outlay
was several thousands of dollars. and amount
ed practically to erecting new buildings. The
Chase heirs, A. 4. Ilowes and j. ID. Tucker,
each bought Il building from the hotel com
pany,-a portion of the Crosby estate-and
have converted them into tenement houses
Mr.. y. {. Burgess has rebuilt the Hiram o.
Alden house on Church street. at an outlay Of
about $4,000. The Syndicate which owns a num-
bcr Of buildings Oh Common street. near the
depot, have made great improvements. Three
buildings have been rebuilt, and preparations
for >tnl greater renovation are being made for
next year. The foundation for $50. 900 hotel
on the Governor Crosby lot. to be called Hotel
Crosby, has been completed and the building
will be erected next year. Sherman q Co.,
East Belfast, have bought all the Russell in
terest IN the mills on Goose River. and are
now at work on a leather board mill to be
erected early next season. This review does not
include repairs, which have been quite cxten-
siye. No one building enterprise, however,
approaches in importance the erection of Ho-
tel Crosby. Belfast has long felt the need of a
first class hotel, and it is gratifying to know
that our wants in this direction will soon be
fully realized. Belfast is well adapted for a
summer resort and it is believed that such a
hotel as the Crosby will be must attract hither
many sojourners. Next in Importance is the
erection of the public library building, legacy
of the late Paul X. HaZeltne. The building is
an ornament to the city. The library will be
open to the public about the first of February,
1888. While the building is gift from the
late P. r. Hazetine, it is but just to say that
the fund for replenishing the books, &C.,
comes from another public benefactor, the late
Nathaniel Wilson.
All of our local industries have flourished to
a remarkable degree. Mathews Bros. sash and
blind factory, one of the best in New England,
never had better run of work. The Belfast
shoe factory has run Il full crew and closes
good seasons business. All our granite indus
tries have been busy. Mr.. G. J. Hall has en-
ployed large crews both at his yard and polish
ing mill in this city and ut Mt. Desert. The
Oak Hill Granite company has had good run
of business, and IN addition to the regular gran
ite business have shipped 100, 600 paving blocks
to Boston, and several cargoes to New York.
One of the finest jobs turned out this year by
the Oak Hill company was the Odd Fellows
statue Of the late Vice President COlfax, OF
Indiana. Fernald Bros. have had a good years
business and have run full crew. Durham u
Hall, wood workers, have been busy. Kelley
& Co., have made the usual number OF axes,

STEAMBOATS,.
Four additional steamboats, have been rum
ming to Belfast and two new routes established.
In the spring steamer Electa went On the route
between Belfast and Castine, taking the place
of the Florence which was sold. Steamer
Mary Morgan went on the route between Rock
land and Bangor, but was attached for debt
and withdrawn. The steamer NJ. 4 NJ. is now
running on this route, which has developed
large amount of business. A new route was
established between New York and Bangor
and intermediate landings The steamer Lucy
z. Miller first came OH. but business so increased
that she gave way to larger boat-the Caroline
Miller. The Boston 4 Bangor line has had an
increase of business, partially due to the inter-
state commerce bill, which drove commodities
from land to water routes. This line by the
uniform courtesy of its employees, its splendid
boats and competent officers. enjoys a well
deserved prosperity.

Plans for New Vessels.

W~AsBISGToS. March I.-Secretary Whit.
ney to-day furnished u statement touching
the method employed by the navy department
to procure plans for naval vessels and ma
chinery. Concerning the reported discharge
OF Draughtsmsn Terry, at the Chatham
dockyard, England, he says There
Is no truth In any statement which
connects the navy department with anything
clandestine in the way OF obtaining plans
abroad Of secrets OF foreign governments. 1t
is the business of every government to know
what implements Of war are possessed by
others, together with their characteristics and
information can easily be obtained IL the
necessary trouble Is taken, without the neces-
sity OF resorting to any questionable meth
od.n Speaking OF two designs purchased by
him for the government, Mr.. Whitney
says: "lhe machinery OF the Naniwa
Kan was the design OF the Haw
%thornes, and that OF No. q the design of
Messrs. Humphreys aud Tenant, recognized
as concerns ranking with the highest In Eng
land In the way "f marine machinery. After
these plans had been received here, | was fire.

them have copies. 1t was the first time that
detailed working drawings had been had OF an
Gully rblpN III ~ luth ~ ~ IHt tuat ~
would be an excellent plan 10 reproduce the
machinery OF these two vessels ia two OF the
Ave ships that We were about To build; and
this course WAS earnestly urged upon me by
shlp-bullders who examined the plans. Many
OF the arrangements OF the ships have been
changed, conforming hem - our tytes; bat
the machinery viii be- DUPLICATED in two of
those that are now under contract. The eff
iect has been, III my judgment, 70 call the
attention OF our own Poop e TO the fact that
we have not kept up % a proper
standard IN the way Of producing power
for machinery. La the case Of the Boston
aud Atlanta the guarantee OF the contractor
T., that with 66i tons of machinery he will pro-
nuce $500 horse power. The guarantee of the
contractor who Is Reproducing the Napiwa-
Kan's machinery Is that, with 40 tons, he
wll produce Z 900 horse power, aud in case Of
cruiser No. 3, also foreign machinery, the
guaraneee is that with 900 tons 1900 horse
power shall be produced. IL viii be
seen that the effectiveness of the ma
chinery In producing horse power Is nearly
twice that required hy the contractor upon
the Boston and All nta. In these latter
cases one ton of machinery is guaranteed To
produce a little over five horse power; and
in the cases of the cruisers Me-. , and 3 a ton
is guaranteed 10 produce nearly ten horse

The Railroad Consolidation.

NEW YORK, March 10.-The New York Post
Of to-day says:
The attention Of the street and the general
public has been concentrated on the progress
of the scheme for the amaigatnation Of half a
dozen great railroad properties under The con
troll Of the Richmond terminal syndicate with
30 much skepticism about it's success that
even when 1t WIS openly and positively stated
by members OF the syndicate that they bad
acquired control Of the Baltimore q Ohio,
spectators and Others apparently waited for
further developments TO show the extent Of the
whole scheme before taking much interest
IN the market. The prevailing belief is that
the settlement OF the telegraph war will De
one Of the results OF the Jersey Central, Read.
ing, Baltimore IL Ohio, Richmond terminal
combination.
Alfred SuiIy was applied to by q reporter
OF the Evening Post to-day for some state
ment in regard 10 circamstantial reports that
the syndicate represented by him hhd virtu-
ally concluded negotiations With Presi-
dent Garrett, OF the Baltimore and Ohio, for
the purchase OF a controlling interest In that
road and it's dependencies. Sully said that he
preferred to say nothing until he could state
something definite, and that he WAS not yet
Ia d position 10 DO 81. When the reporter re
marked that he supposed the fact of the pur-
| chase was not denied, SILLY admitted that
this was pretty vol understood, but said he
| was not prepared TO announce the names OF
the parties concerned or the terms of the
agreement.
1t was reported on the street to-day that the
price paid by the syndicate for Baltimore and
Ohio stock was 225, but a well inform,d and
prominent broker sad he had reason To be-
| liGva ~ WAS not nNpr ono lsaIiun hank

Of tue reported sale, said that the railroads
represented in the purchasing combination,
or in harmony with them, would have control
